Check the installation directory
Usually:
C:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere MQ
Check the directory structure.
Run amqsputc and amqsgetc programs to test.
Read the memo.ptf in the <MQINSTALL DIR> \Ptf\en_us
For me it is C:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere MQ\Ptf\en_us to know the version
There is no equivalent of mqver on windows client |

An application running on that machine can use that client to link to any MQServer the application wants to.
It's like asking which email server a machine with Outlook Express is linked to.

In java you specify the host, qmgr, channel, and port (tcp client)
In JMS this information is on your qcf/tcf
In C you need to check out the manuals. There is an environment variable that serves up this information to the program.
There is a specific manual about client mode connections and programing...
Enjoy |

A very simple method is to check the registry.
look at HKLM\Software\IBM\MQSeries\CurrentVersion registry key. This value is either "Server" or "Client" depending on what is installed.
Best way. We have total knowledge of our infrastructure on windows using this method |

Checking that registry key doesn't help if you have both server and client installed on the same machine. It only says Server in that scenario.

If you the variable in a dos window, then it is only set for that dos window and anything it spawns. If the dos window is gone, I don't know that there is anyway to tell what the currently running app that was started from that dos window is using for MQSERVER. If the dos window is still up, just look to see what you set.
Aleternativly, you can set the the MQSERVER variable at the system level, and then you can just check the System's Environment variables to see what the value is. Any MQClient app that doesn't code the MQCONNX call (it overides the MQSERVER variable) or doesn't set it's own MQSERVER variable in its own dos window (it overides the system's MQSERVER) will be using that value.
